 slender, often measuring 15 

 inches in length. It is extra 

 good for slicing and for 

 pickles, the flesh being crisp 

 and tender. An important 

 quality of this Chinese vari- 

 ety is its disease resisting 

 power, not being at all sub- 

 ject to blight and fungus 

 diseases. It keeps on bear- 

 ing fruits. much longer than 

 any other variety of Cucum- 

 ber. (See illustration.)

416 THE "HENDERSON" 



Extra Early — Healthy Vines — Prolific — Handsome 



It is early, prolific, and produces a continuous crop of uniformly 

 large and symmetrical fruits of an intensely rich deep green color, 

 faintly marked with light yellowish shading toward the tip. It runs 

 very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen fruit or 

 culls. It is the ideal for slicing; the flesh is compact, fine 

 grained, sparkling white and of most refreshing and delightful 

 flavor. The vines are vigorous, healthy, and mildew-proof, 

 maintaining their luxuriance and bearing abundantly from the 

 earliest to the latest season. (See illustration.)

392 COOL AND CRISP (Henderson's) 



Firm and Crisp — Bears the Whole Season 



An extra early, exceedingly prolific and continuous-bearing 

 variety; a very distinct and attractive selection of the old 

 White Spine class; the shape is unique, rather longer than most 

 sorts, tapering at each end, slightly ridged throughout, with but 

 few "knobs." The color is a beautiful dark green, shading off a 

 little toward blossom end. (See illti strati on.)

CULTURE. — 1 oz. for 60 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. in hills for an acre. Cucumbers should 

 not be planted in the open air until settled warm weather — in the vicinity of New York 

 about the middle of May plant in hills about 4 feel apart each way. The hills are pre- 

 pared by mixing with the soil a shovelful of well-rotted manure. Plant 8 or 10 seeds in 

 each kill. Thin out the plants, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest to each hill. 



394 DAVIS PERFECT

 the long slim character of the fruits. It has excellent color and 

 the flesh is very crisp and delicate in flavor.
